[N]
[D] I feel [F#m] tears welling [D] up going [A] deep [D] inside
I know my [A] heart's gonna get bent
In the stand of loneliness
Sharp and painful, [B] but I may [E] never shake
[A] You might say that I was picking it hard
[D] Since you broke me up with [A] a call
I told you way too bad I had sorrow
But let me [E] break right [A] down and fall
Now the race is on and here comes pride
And the [D] backstreet party's gonna be [A] inside
My tears are pouring back, [B] I'm trying [E] not to fall
[A] My heart's out of the running
Two [D] love strikes for another [A]

The race is on and it looks like party's
The winner loses all

One [F#m] day I ventured in [A] love, never once suspecting
[D] What the final result [A] would be
Now I live in fear of a beating moment
[B] Fighting that you'd come [E] for me
[A] The second pain in my heart was the name [D] of the one
That I had to [A]
erase
Somebody knew too much to win her
And [E] I came out in [A] second place
Now the race is on and here comes pride
And the [D] backstreet party's gonna be inside
[A]
My tears are pouring back, [B]
I'm trying not [E] to fall

My heart's out of the running
Two [D] love strikes for another [A] sake
The race is on and it looks like party's
[E] The winner [A] loses all
